[edit]DescriptionDeed.jpg |
English: The Grant of deed of Arms of Earl of Abingdon, 1682 V&A Museum no. W.25:1 to 3-1987
Techniques - Vellum, inscribed, illuminated and gilded, with a black wax seal attached by a plaited cord of metal thread Place - London, England (possibly) The granting of an earldom would have been of paramount importance to a family, particularly if it involved a promotion to higher rank. A special box was required to protect the precious document and its seal, without which the deed would not have been valid. People - The Grant was made on 20 November 1682 to James Bertie, 5th Lord Norris (1653-1699). The document includes a portrait of Charles II, who reigned from 1660 to 1685. Abingdon was Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire from 1674 until 1687. Later, he offered financial support to William III, but he ended up opposing his accession to the throne and duly withdrew from the court. |
